It looks like a VERY PRETTY forklift of some kind. Why didn't you go with the double jointed arm?

A poof forklift! Looks awesome, seems like a simple and effective design (as always :cool: )

First thing I noticed though: the In'n'out on the table in the back. Yummmm :p

Is that blue lighter than 254's shade from the past few years? Looks that way

It's definitely a lighter blue (personally, I'm a fan of the dark cobalt shade they had for the past few years)

Elevator is probably a lighter weight solution too

Looks nice! I look forward to competing with you guys at SVR.

What's the time to go from ground to top goal scoring height?

It looks a lot lighter in the pictures than it actually is in person. We vastly prefer it to the navy that it was last year. Im told that the 2005 and 2004 bots looked almost the same color when they first came back from the paint shop, and over time darkened up, so we'll see.

Yup, we got tired of other robots ending up inside of ours, because of having such a low base, so we'll have polycarb side shields to prevent that this year.

Are you worried about problems with the inertia of the lift moving it that far, that fast?

Decoys!

They just made those for fun. The real machine is back there sitting on the bench :yikes: :D

We'll see, once we actually have a robot that works ;) we plan on having preset buttons for each row, so Im sure if it's an issue we can have it slow down as it approachess the correct height,

Those are for 1868, the other team that works in our lab ;)

I'm guessing they wont make it since this is taken from the poofs shop.

We're making a late night run down to LA tomorrow night to swap parts.

Why was the decision made to go with such a different chassis this year, rather than previous years which seemed to work so well for you guys?

Amazingly it only took the company one day to finish all of the parts. And we made one competition robot and one practice robot for each team.

The red ones are for 968 the blue ones are for 254 (twin teams), there are 2 sets of them because, most likely, they have an extra to practice with while the other robot is being shipped around

How do you mean? Other than those plugs on the side of the frame the side shields bolt into, and the 1x1 instead of 1x2 bar on the back, the frame is almost identical to last year's. The only "major" difference is we lowered the middle wheel an extra 1/16" this year.

will 968 be at the SCRRF scrimmage?

Is it Saturday? If so, nope. We've got to broach our wheels and do some other stuff while in LA dropping off the parts that won't be done till mid saturday morning. We'll both be lucky to have it put together and running by Tuesday :-p

If the robot is done by then, but I highly doubt that it will be. We will just have to wait for LA;)
